Shadows (How Lonely It Is)

I have not forgotten my love

How lonely it is

Here in your shadow

The flame is still flickering

Deep in the depths

Of my soul

I never saw the poppy as a sad flower before, but with your words and lighting of the photo — a new image of them. Thanks.

  Hi Brenda – I think I always see poppies as a symbol of remembrance, which could be both sad and fond memories, perhaps even both at once!

    You’re right — they are seen that way in the UK. In the US, the white lily is more a symbol of loss. In CA, the fields of poppies are native washes of color that lift the spirit.
